* i meant to upload a no music version of this clip but uploaded the wrong one. It took 2 hours to upload so i'm not doing it again

If you've never done a track day before, i recommend you find out when your local circuit is having a speed off the street or open track and get down there and have a crack. Much fun to be had!!

[skillionaire]

Hi, Thanks for sharing mate, looks like an absolute blast. Cheers, Nik

Love a track day. Especially chopping in a wagon, the least sports car of all cars. Nice work, good shots. Top gear music! BTW did you have the radio on?

excellent effort Aek, you did pretty damn well considering the feild of cars you were up against! shame about the bearing too mate, oil surge kill it ?

[aekOne]

cheers mate. i reckon i was "best of the rest" yeah i reckon oil surge. it happened coming out of turn two before heading up the hill. actually mate i was chatting to Dylan and was wondering if your free next weekend?

[Jimbo]

well, im working saturday but finish at 5pm, whats on the cards?

[robt]

Yeah I thought your radio was on coz your aerial was erect!

[Alex]

Looking good Aek. Should switch the radio off next time, to retract that antenna! Also, I'm surprised at your choice of wheels and tyres. I thought you would have chucked on some track rims with some sort of slicky type tyres? Spewing about the spun bearing mate. Heard from Dylan about your misfortunes. Time for a baffled sump? Perhaps you should consider taking a leaf from Jim's book, and perhaps use some sort of farmyard animal as a means of daily transportation? LOL

hahah ah yeah i see, i must have only turned the radio down instead of off lol. i reckon that drag may have cost me .25 seconds a lap...

the decision to use "daily" wheels and tyres was actually a last minute thing. i do have a set of track tyres and wheels but i was lazy and stupidly only checked them the day before the track day. the insides of them were worryingly worn so decided not to use them (coincidentally andy used his track tyres which had some similar wear and started getting some MAJOR vibrations halfway through the day due to the tyres starting to warp and bubble. safety first). i reckon with a good set of rubber there is PLENTY of room to improve my times

feel like swinging some spanners next weekend mate

[CRUISN]

That looks like heaps of fun Aek. Very respectable placing. Cant wait to do some myself. Shame about the engine, Ive felt that pain.

[Alex]

Spanners will be swung. You have my digits
